Lives change here at the Greater Holyoke YMCA every day. Kids become more confident. Seniors gather as friends while staying healthy. Idle teens work together as a group toward a common goal. Volunteers connect with and help their neighbors. We see it every day. But our members can tell you so much better than we ever could. Here's what some of them have to say:

"The YMCA and its amazing staff has helped me change my life and I am forever grateful."

"Since I started here, I've been looked up to by others. I feel better about myself. I feel like I've always wanted to."

"My kids love the Child Care and I can exercise knowing they are safe and happy."

"At your Y, I've re-connected with lots of old friends and met lots of new friends. My doctor is amazed at the results I've gotten from this place."

"I feel more confident since I started coming to your Y. Before I came here, because my body was unhealthy, I was always made fun of. But since the Y, its helped me become a better me."

"Being at the Y, I feel more empowered and by that I mean I would like to help other people. And I have been helping other people. It's helped me gain new friends that actually care."

Please join our Board, staff, Members and many community members in supporting the positive changes that happen at the Greater Holyoke YMCA every day!
